These verifiers are essentially the same code as the read verifiers,
but do not require ioend processing. Hence factor the read verifier
functions and add a new write verifier wrapper that is used as the
callback.
This is done as one large patch for all verifiers rather than one
patch per verifier as the change is largely mechanical. This
includes hooking up the write verifier via the read verifier
function.
Hooking up the write verifier for buffers obtained via
xfs_trans_get_buf() will be done in a separate patch as that touches
code in many different places rather than just the verifier
functions.

Add a superblock verify callback function and pass it into the
buffer read functions. Remove the now redundant verification code
that is currently in use.
Adding verification shows that secondary superblocks never have
their "sb_inprogress" flag cleared by mkfs.xfs, so when validating
the secondary superblocks during a grow operation we have to avoid
checking this field. Even if we fix mkfs, we will still have to
ignore this field for verification purposes unless a version of mkfs
that does not have this bug was used.

With verification being done as an IO completion callback, different
errors can be returned from a read. Uncached reads only return a
buffer or NULL on failure, which means the verification error cannot
be returned to the caller.
Split the error handling for these reads into two - a failure to get
a buffer will still return NULL, but a read error will return a
referenced buffer with b_error set rather than NULL. The caller is
responsible for checking the error state of the buffer returned.

Add a verifier function callback capability to the buffer read
interfaces. This will be used by the callers to supply a function
that verifies the contents of the buffer when it is read from disk.
This patch does not provide callback functions, but simply modifies
the interfaces to allow them to be called.
The reason for adding this to the read interfaces is that it is very
difficult to tell fom the outside is a buffer was just read from
disk or whether we just pulled it out of cache. Supplying a callbck
allows the buffer cache to use it's internal knowledge of the buffer
to execute it only when the buffer is read from disk.
It is intended that the verifier functions will mark the buffer with
an EFSCORRUPTED error when verification fails. This allows the
reading context to distinguish a verification error from an IO
error, and potentially take further actions on the buffer (e.g.
attempt repair) based on the error reported.

v2: Add the xfs_buf_lock to xfs_quiesce_attr().
Add explaination why xfs_buf_lock() is used to wait for write.
xfs_wait_buftarg() does not wait for the completion of the write of the
uncached superblock. This write can race with the shutdown of the log
and causes a panic if the write does not win the race.
During the log write, xfsaild_push() will lock the buffer and set the
XBF_ASYNC flag. Because the XBF_FLAG is set, complete() is not performed
on the buffer's iowait entry, we cannot call xfs_buf_iowait() to wait
for the write to complete. The buffer's lock is held until the write is
complete, so we can block on a xfs_buf_lock() request to be notified
that the write is complete.

Now that we write back all metadata either synchronously or through
the AIL we can simply implement metadata freezing in terms of
emptying the AIL.
The implementation for this is fairly simply and straight-forward:
A new routine is added that asks the xfsaild to push the AIL to the
end and waits for it to complete and send a wakeup. The routine will
then loop if the AIL is not actually empty, and continue to do so
until the AIL is compeltely empty.
We keep an inode reclaim pass in the freeze process to avoid having
memory pressure have to reclaim inodes that require dirtying the
filesystem to be reclaimed after the freeze has completed. This
means we can also treat unmount in the exact same way as freeze.
As an upside we can now remove the radix tree based inode writeback
and xfs_unmountfs_writesb.

- Added inode reclaim passes back into freeze.

Currently the size of the speculative preallocation during delayed

default size. We are seeing a lot of cases where we need to
recommend using the allocsize mount option to prevent fragmentation
when buffered writes land in the same AG.
Rather than using a fixed preallocation size by default (up to 64k),
make it dynamic by basing it on the current inode size. That way the
EOF preallocation will increase as the file size increases. Hence
for streaming writes we are much more likely to get large
preallocations exactly when we need it to reduce fragementation.

Because it is hard to take back specualtive preallocation, cases
where there are large slow growing log files on a nearly full
filesystem may cause premature ENOSPC. Hence as the filesystem nears
full, the maximum dynamic prealloc size іs reduced according to this
table (based on 4k block size):
freespace max prealloc size
>5% full extent (8GB)
4-5% 2GB (8GB >> 2)
3-4% 1GB (8GB >> 3)
2-3% 512MB (8GB >> 4)
1-2% 256MB (8GB >> 5)
<1% 128MB (8GB >> 6)
This should reduce the amount of space held in speculative
preallocation for such cases.
The allocsize mount option turns off the dynamic behaviour and fixes
the prealloc size to whatever the mount option specifies. i.e. the
behaviour is unchanged.

Fail the mount if we can't allocate memory for the per-CPU counters.
This is consistent with how we handle everything else in the mount
path and makes the superblock counter modification a lot simpler.

The buffer cache hash is showing typical hash scalability problems.
In large scale testing the number of cached items growing far larger
than the hash can efficiently handle. Hence we need to move to a
self-scaling cache indexing mechanism.
I have selected rbtrees for indexing becuse they can have O(log n)
search scalability, and insert and remove cost is not excessive,
even on large trees. Hence we should be able to cache large numbers
of buffers without incurring the excessive cache miss search
penalties that the hash is imposing on us.
To ensure we still have parallel access to the cache, we need
multiple trees. Rather than hashing the buffers by disk address to
select a tree, it seems more sensible to separate trees by typical
access patterns. Most operations use buffers from within a single AG
at a time, so rather than searching lots of different lists,
separate the buffer indexes out into per-AG rbtrees. This means that
searches during metadata operation have a much higher chance of
hitting cache resident nodes, and that updates of the tree are less
likely to disturb trees being accessed on other CPUs doing
independent operations.

Memory reclaim via shrinkers has a terrible habit of having N+M
concurrent shrinker executions (N = num CPUs, M = num kswapds) all
trying to shrink the same cache. When the cache they are all working
on is protected by a single spinlock, massive contention an
slowdowns occur.
Wrap the per-ag inode caches with a reclaim mutex to serialise
reclaim access to the AG. This will block concurrent reclaim in each
AG but still allow reclaim to scan multiple AGs concurrently. Allow
shrinkers to move on to the next AG if it can't get the lock, and if
we can't get any AG, then start blocking on locks.
To prevent reclaimers from continually scanning the same inodes in
each AG, add a cursor that tracks where the last reclaim got up to
and start from that point on the next reclaim. This should avoid
only ever scanning a small number of inodes at the satart of each AG
and not making progress. If we have a non-shrinker based reclaim
pass, ignore the cursor and reset it to zero once we are done.

The reclaim walk requires different locking and has a slightly
different walk algorithm, so separate it out so that it can be
optimised separately.

When we are checking we can access the last block of each device, we
do not need to use cached buffers as they will be tossed away
immediately. Use uncached buffers for size checks so that all IO
prior to full in-memory structure initialisation does not use the
buffer cache.

Filesystem level managed buffers are buffers that have their
lifecycle controlled by the filesystem layer, not the buffer cache.
We currently cache these buffers, which makes cleanup and cache
walking somewhat troublesome. Convert the fs managed buffers to
uncached buffers obtained by via xfs_buf_get_uncached(), and remove
the XBF_FS_MANAGED special cases from the buffer cache.
